For Liu Lang, there was no such thing as feeling awkward.
Of course, it wasn’t like he volunteered to go first either.
It was just that… he had a habit: sleep as soon as he got on a vehicle, and get off to pee.
A reflex from his past life.
As soon as the car stopped, the staff’s voice explaining the rules woke him up.
Instinctively, he slung on his bag and stood up.
Before the staff even finished talking, he had already pulled the door open and stretched his long legs outside.
Everyone on the bus was stunned.
The staff was caught between laughter and tears—he had planned to stop him and give some instructions, but it was already too late.
There was no choice. After the initial shock, the staff turned back to the camera with an awkward smile:
“Well then! Stepping up for the challenge is Liu Lang—let’s give him a round of applause for his courage!”
“(?_?)”
All the male guests twitched visibly, clapping stiffly.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat was already exploding with laughter:
“Courage? More like urgency! You can tell he’s just dying to pee!”
“I can’t—this guy seriously came to join a romance show? Feels more like a walking meme!”
“We signed up for romance and they’re giving us a sitcom!”
“LOL! Let’s see which savage queen will step up just to choose the opposite house and put this guy in his place.”
“……”
“WTF!!???”
“Is that… Goddess Tianxian??”
“No way! Tianxian always has this cold, reserved vibe, but she’s truly kind and gentle at heart. She’s never mocked or embarrassed anyone. Why would she do it this time…?”
Viewers were all caught off guard.
The female guests at the scene also wore strange expressions.
That whole moment earlier was genuinely unexpected.
When Liu Lang stepped out, even Yang Mi and the others paused in surprise.
As they stood there, still shocked and indecisive, Liu Tianxian had already calmly stood up, gracefully opened the car door, and stepped out…
As if she hadn’t even thought about it.
Or maybe… she’d already made up her mind.
Reba looked like she wanted to say something but stopped, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
Yang Mi, on the other hand, looked at her longtime friend with a thoughtful, amused expression.
“She better not!!”
On the other side of the screen, a woman frowned deeply and started ranting,
“If she dares make my son look bad, I won’t let her off!”
“……” the man beside her was speechless.
“She’s been talking to Bauge and Louis about endorsements lately, right? Go talk to them. Cancel everything!
And the drama she’s filming this year—isn’t it mostly foreign actors? Didn’t they say they’d ban those? Why isn’t anyone doing anything about that!?” she muttered furiously.
“(￣ー￣*||” The man covered his face in frustration and said with a wry smile,
“We agreed not to interfere with his stuff.”
“Still, we can’t just sit here—”
“Enough, let’s wait and see. Overprotective mothers raise useless sons.
Back then, you coddled him so much, and now look how aimless he turned out. Still haven’t learned your lesson?”
“You dare say that to me?” the woman snapped, lunging to twist his ear.
“Stop, stop!” The man quickly waved her off, but suddenly paused and stared at the screen.
“Wait… something’s not right…”
And sure enough, the reality was different from what everyone had assumed—
Just as Liu Lang reached the bridge leading to the Love Cabins, Liu Tianxian came up quickly, dragging her suitcase behind her. With a soft, playful smile, she called out:
“Hey, wait for me!”
“??” Liu Lang turned around, curious.
“Didn’t you know you’re supposed to wait for a female guest? What’s the rush?” she blinked at him.
“What do you mean? I really had to pee!” Liu Lang replied with conviction.
“(￣ー￣*|” Liu Tianxian paused, caught off guard, and burst out laughing,
“Jeez! At least try to sound elegant—we’re on a show!”
“Oh… May I relieve myself with grace, then?” Liu Lang said with a dead-serious face.
Pfft! Liu Tianxian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Her eyes curved into crescents, lashes fluttering—it was a side of her people rarely saw.
Seeing this, the livestream chat exploded again:
“WTF? Something’s off here!”
“That smile—no way is she annoyed. Not even a little bit???”
“Holy sh*t, I finally get it!
All this time I thought girls didn’t like me because I wasn’t rich enough…
Turns out, I just wasn’t cheeky enough!!”
“Is it possible that… she just genuinely doesn’t like a pig?”
“Screw you, man!!”
“Hahaha!!”
…
Liu Lang glanced at Liu Tianxian, who was giggling away, and rolled his eyes:
“Can you hurry up?”
“I’d love to! But my suitcase is too heavy—I can’t drag it!” Liu Tianxian dropped the smile and played pitiful.
“Oh! Got it!” Liu Lang bent down and grabbed the suitcase in one swoop.
“??” Liu Tianxian was secretly pleased:
Whoa, he finally got the hint!
Wait… oh no—
Liu Tianxian nearly threw her back out.
Staring at the suitcase now perched on Liu Lang’s shoulder, her eye twitched hard…
“There, all good now, right?” Liu Lang said shamelessly.
“(?_?)” For the first time in her life, Liu Tianxian genuinely wanted to curse.
The livestream suddenly lagged—and then exploded:
“HOLY SH*T! Bro, that move just blinded me with 24K gold-plated cringe!”
“Hahaha! This dude’s about to get canonized in the Temple of Ultimate Straight Men!”
“Tianxian: ‘fml… I’ve said too much. Should’ve known. My fault for being blind.’”
“It’s over. Now she’s finally got a legit reason to slap him with an XX rating!”
…
On the other side of the screen, both the man and woman were dead silent.
“Uhm, maybe forget it… I think this girl’s actually pretty decent,” the woman said awkwardly.
“It’s not entirely her fault.”
“Maybe… we should’ve just arranged a blind date instead,” the man muttered.
“Even that would be tough. Might have to throw him straight into a wedding chamber…”
“Honestly… not a bad idea.”
The two exchanged helpless sighs, their faces full of worry.
…
Liu Tianxian dropped her suitcase onto the ground with a thud, close to tears:
“What is wrong with you?!”
“What now?”
“I hurt my back filming, okay!? And you go and do this… Couldn’t you just help me carry it properly?”
This time, she was genuinely upset.
“You should’ve said something! If you don’t tell me, how am I supposed to know?
If you tell me, then I do know. Why keep it a secret?”
“Move!!”
Smack! Liu Tianxian gave him a slap on the arm.
Liu Lang didn’t dare say another word. He just picked up the suitcase and quickly walked ahead.
Crossing the walkway and approaching the signboard in front of the Love Cabins, he didn’t even pause.
Liu Tianxian quickly called out:
“Hey! Stop!”
“Now what?” Liu Lang turned, clearly annoyed.
“Let me be clear—helping carry luggage doesn’t include carrying you.”
“Get over yourself!!”
Liu Tianxian facepalmed, utterly speechless.
The livestream chat burst into hysterics:
“Hahaha! Are these two trying to kill me with laughter?”
“Seriously, they’re hilarious. Anyone else notice how real Tianxian feels when she’s with him? Their chemistry is insane!”
“No joke, their looks actually match too. Visually compatible!”
“Suddenly I really want Tianxian to pick the same house as him. That would be golden!”
“Keep dreaming! It’s not like Liu Tianxian doesn’t have options.
She’s just picky and hasn’t met the right guy. If she does pick him? Bro, that means pigs really can fly!”
